Hi, I have installed GeoServer 1.2.
does it work with MapInfo Files directly (.map, .dat)?
How do I configure the GeoServer so that it works with these files?
Regards.

MapInfo isn't yet supported in geoserver by default, but I think it
should be relatively soon, since it recently made it's way into
geotools. Sig, cced on this message, is the author of it, he can
probably tell your more details.
Sig - it might be nice to make a task in geoserver called 'add mapinfo',
and there you can attach the latest built jar, and people can just drop
it in (give directions as to how to, but it should be straightforward -
add to lib directory, will show up on drop down in web admin tool,
ect.)

The native binary format (.tab + .dat + .map + .id + .ind) is not
supported.
We developed a MIFDataStore which can read and write MapInfo
Interchange Format (.mif / .mid) files.
A possible workaround for now is using the tab2tab utility (see
http://mitab.maptools.org) for converting your tab files into mif
format, then you can access the mif files within GeoServer.
You can find more info, and the .jar file, at:
http://www.geotools.org/MIFDataStore

Ok, I'll do it!
